Photo Booth: missing "live video" button?

I was trying to use the iSight camera in my iMac with Photo Booth (v. 1.2) to snap a portrait of myself and I ran into a curious problem. After snapping a few shots and clicking on the thumbnails at the bottom of the window, I tried to return to live video to set up another shot and was unable to do so. The help file tells me to "click the Live Video button below the image." Problem is, the only button below the image, other than the app links, is the shutter button. Clicking this snaps another picture, with no opportunity to set up in live video mode. I had to close and re-start Photo Booth to get live video again. Am I missing something obvious here?

Hi,
Manually click through the following folders
Home/Library/Preferences. Delete the com.apple.PhotoBooth.plist and restart Photo Booth.
This should return all the icons to the Tool Bar.

Why does photo booth stop recording video randomly

Im trying to record short videos using photobooth about 3 mins long. but when i record. more than half the time it will say that it is recording the whole thing
but when i stop the recording, only about fraction of what i wanted will be there.
Ex. i just recorded about 3m 30sec of video...and when i stopped it....only 32 seconds of video was recorded.....
Why is this happening?

Photo Booth Audio and Video not in sync!

I am a YouTube musician. When I go to record I find it easiest to use the video feature in Photo Booth. However, ever since I upgraded to Mountain Lion my audio and video in my videos has been off of one another. They start off together but by the end of the video the audio is ahead of the video. When I went to try and see where it messes up I found that the video jumps frames creating almost a transition effect. I don't know how to fix this and would really like your help!

Do you have fix for Photo Booth Audio and Video are not syncing properly, Do you have fix for Photo Booth Audio and Video are not syncing properly

My audio and video are not syncing properly. There is a lag from the audio to the video. Does anyone have a permanent fix for Photo Booth where the Audio and Video are not syncing properly?

If you monitor the "More Like This" box (top right), other threads appear. Opening them usually displays other threads. You aren't the only one having this problem.

Photo Booth Audio and Video are out of sync?

Hi. So there is this glitch that when I take videos on Photo Booth the audio and video are out of sync. This started after I upgraded to Mountain Lion, and since I use Photo Booth a lot, I really do care. Is there anyway that I can fix this until Apple fixes this bug? Thanks.
Extra Info: The first video I took was not out of sync, but after that they got more and more out of sync.

I've read all the forums. It's a big problem for most Photobooth users, Apple acknowledges it, but does not yet have a fix.
The best solution I have come up with is to dump Photobooth (I know - it was a great program, wasn't it? But so was Hypercard) and use Quicktime to make videos. You'll have to spend a little more work savings or exporting, but at least Quicktime is free.
Just open Quicktime Player and under the File menu you'll see "Record New Movie."
The downward slide continues...

Photo Booth - audio and video not syncing

I was making some videos on Photo Booth and the audio doesn't start playing until 5 seconds after the video starts! Do you know if there is any way to fix this or is it a software issue? I have tried resetting the computer but it didn't help.
Thanks for your help!

In Photo Booth, right-click on the video and either Export or Reveal in Finder. Either way, then open and play it with QuickTime. Is audio and video still out of sync?

IChat and Photo Booth mirror the video?

Video chatting with my parents I noticed, that their faces are mirrored, either in their video preview and on my computer. They have got an iMac 2Ghz Intel Core 2 duo and 10.5.6. Their built in camera does not take videos or photos in Photo Booth or iChat as regular cameras do, but they mirror the picture. I am now sitting at their computer, trying to solve the problem, but I could not find any settings to change this. In Photo Booth I can choose "Neue Fotos automatisch spiegeln", in english probably "automatically mirror new photos" (or something similar), but this does not help for iChat.
Has any of you have an idea?
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
Photobooth and iChat show the Pics as you would see them in a Mirror.
It is not a problem.
It is the way that are designed.
The Buddy at the other end in iChat see things correctly.
The effect is something like standing in front of a Drinking establishment with a mirror behind the Bar that you can see whilst your Buddy is facing you.
Hence you make a move to indicate to your right an the mirror image follows your action on the same side. Your Buddy see things as the friend at the bar would.
It is not a "Problem" so there is no "Fix"
However the add-on iGlasess can Flip the pic if you want amongst other things it can do.

Photo Booth playback of video recording doesn't works

Hello !
I have a problem with the playback function of recorded videos in Photo Booth.
My machine is an iMac late 2007 with Mountain Lion on it.
Well ! It's possible to create a video with Photo Booth. But if I like to playback the record in Photo Booth, I only see a black screen inn the Photo Booth window.
Any solutions for me?

Hello namzo !
May be it will be solved in the next Mountain Lion update.

In Photo Booth are the video back drops copyrighted?

I am creating a DVD for my students and would like to use the Yosemite waterfall clip in a relaxation segment
of the production.
Is it copyrighted by Apple?
If it is, then I won't use it.
If this is not the best community for this question, could someone please point me in the right direction?

I am not a lawyer, and I do not know the answer to your question.
However, if I were contemplating doing what you describe, I or my attorney would make initial inquiry beginning at Apple's media.help email address shown in this Apple Legal page: http://www.apple.com/legal/trademark/copyright.html
Photo Booth and its components are part of your Mac OS, so your attorney may be able to determine whether the End User Software License Agreement for your Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) software is relevant to your questions about the Yosemite waterfall clip.

Photo booth missing?

Last week, my hard drive crashed on my MacBook. Today, I had the Apple store replace it with a new hard drive. They installed OS X 10.4 (which is what I had before) but for some reason, I can't find Photo Booth under applications.
Is there a way to re-install it using my OSX disks, or do I need to go back to the Apple store and have them fix it?

I think you'd have better luck starting a New Topic here to get he most helpers in on it.
It's quite acceptable, even preferable to start a new topic of your own, it will get more individualized attention, and many more helpers!
It can be hard to sometimes find where to start a New Topic, so here's the link...

Missing Live Video From Evanescence

Greetings,
I just purchased Evanescence's album Fallen. During the download of the album it showed that it was downloading the video of the band performing Bring Me Back To Life live. I cannot locate this video anywhere. I do not have a video iPod, but I assumed I would be able to watch it on the PC. Any idea where my video has gone. It's not under Movies or Music. I am running the latest version of iTunes on Windows XP.
Thanks in advance!

Cool, I can see me using this - need to properly test with http://b-l-a-c-k-o-p.com/CamCamX.html#upgrade
this allows you to choose video sources to play - so i'm betting it will allow video cameras to be used - so it ought to be possible to do live demos/illustrate slides with 3d objects etc ... cool - suspect voice syncing still might be an issue. And KN record doesn't work properly if you have a live movie - it just shows the camera content that's live ... (if you follow me...)
PS Almost forgot - it will do one of the things I was so desperate to achieve: It would allow you to have a window on the screen with a live feed of a signer for those who use BSL and other sign languages - that's really important. And if you needed to you could use two projectors (see other thread on multiple screens) and put the signer on a nicely designed screen all of their own. WOW!!!

Photo Booth audio and video out of sync

Hi everyone.
I tried recording a video three times today on Photobooth, and every time, the audio and video are out of sync. Does anyone have any solutions as to how I can fix this? Its ever since I downloaded Mountain Lion.
Thankyou.

HI, Jay Rhymes,
I'm having the same problem and took your advice.
Strangely, the first video I recorded in Photobooth after I changed the settings did sync audio and video.
But then I deleted that test and tried another, and it was a little off.
I deleted that test and tried a third time, and it was way off.
So if I close Photobooth and open it, the first video will apparently sync fine but subsequent ones won't.
Anyone else having this strange difficulty?
iMac mid-2010
Mountain Lion 10.8.1

Photo Booth: Audio and Video not syncing in the same time frames, really annoying

That's the problem.

Same problem here.
1. Reset ACLs
2. reset PRam reset SMC
3. repaired permissions
4. repaired disk
No issues found.
Reinstalled Mountain Lion....
issue is persisting.
FML
Machine seems to be running fine otherwise. Just happened to notice it when I tried to reord a short video of some guitar. Way out of sync. Horrid.
I made a new user account and the issue is continuing.
The only thing I haven't done is is completely wiped the drive and started fresh. Such a pain in the a## to do this. IDK. Definitely wasnt happening on snow leopard.
